🧭 ABOUT US
Hi! We are Helen and Tim. We are adventure travelers that have been on the road full-time since January 2023. We are based in Portland, Oregon, and have been together for over 10+ years and share a love for the great outdoors through hiking, camping, skiing, and more! We grew up in Dallas, Texas (Helen) & DuBois, Pennsylvania (Tim).

Our goal is to hike the world one mountain at a time. We love to inspire people to get outdoors no matter if the adventure is big or small. Post-hike, we enjoy the local flavors and foods, and a cold drink (beer for Tim and kombucha for Helen).

There is so much in the world to see, even if it is in our own backyards. We started filming our adventures in the Pacific Northwest and that has evolved into filming our international travels.

Thanks so much for watching! We will see you on the next trail! πŸ₯Ύ

  1. Have you been to Japan before? Or have you always wanted to go?We would love to know what you loved about it or what you look forward to when you visit. Let us know if you have any questions!

  2. Nice clarification on Hello Kitty Tim! Lol

    I was really looking forward to Japan. My son has friends there. We hope to rent a place there and experience Japan for a few months. Looking forward to it more now.

  3. Awesome! I Have watched around 13 of your videos just since last thursday and that can tell how much I have loved them starting with the ones in Ak- which i visited on a cruise last April esp the southeast side. I intend to catch up with the rest of the videos you guys shared and looking forward to the new ones. Great!
    Just out of curiosity. Have you guys made a final list of the countries you are planning to visit within these 2 years or are your future itineraries still flexible and subject to change? If you guys dont mind sharing that.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Kamal in Minnesota.

  4. I think you've nailed most/all the sites I'd like to see in Osaka, if you had 2 weeks in Japan how much time would you dedicate to Osaka? Was this in just 2 days (if so that's pretty impressive)?
